Answer:
Depth below sea level is the independent quantity,
Water pressure is the dependent quantity
Step-by-step explanation:
An independent quantity is a variable that can be changed in an experiment. While, dependent quantity results from the independent quantity or we can say, that depends upon the independent quantity.
Here,
The water pressure increases 0.44 pounds per square inch (0.44 psi) with each increase of one foot in depth below sea level,
So, for measuring the water pressure we took depth below sea level as a variable,
⇒ Depth below sea level is the independent quantity,
While, with increasing depth by 1 foot the pressure is also increase by 0.44 pounds per square inches ⇒ pressure depends upon the depth
⇒ Water pressure is the dependent quantity.
Next multiples of the unit fraction 1/5 are
2/5
3/5
4/5
5/5 = 1
Hope this helps.. :)
Answer:
8:3
16:6
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's check if 9 and 24 have any common factor. If they do have any common ones, we must find the GCF (greatest common factor).
Factors of 9: 1, 3, 9
Factors of 24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
The common factors both of the numbers share and 1 and 3. To find the GCF, simply compare one of the factors to the other.
1 < 3
Now that we know the GCF, we can divide the two numbers in the ratio 24 : 9 by it (3).
24:9
24/3:9/3
<u>8:3</u>
Now that our ratio is simplified, it's going to be much easier to find more ratios that are equivalent. <u>8:3</u> is already one equivalent ratio, but if we multiply each number in the ratio by any other number, we can get a new equivalent ratio. Let's multiply each number in the ratio by 2:
<u>8:3</u>
8 ⋅ 2:3 ⋅ 2
<u>16:6</u>
<u></u>
So, another equivalent ratio to 24:9 (and <u>8:3</u>) is <u>16:6</u>.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since y varies directly with x,
y = kx, where k is a real constant.
When x = 4, y = 32.
=> (32) = (4)k, k = 8.
Therefore when x = -2,
y = kx = (8)(-2) = -16.
